Royal Mail’s Cybersecurity: A Royal Misfire or a Hilarious Comedy of Errors?

When the Royal Mail’s cybersecurity morphed into a “Royal Fail,” it wasn’t a laughing matter. Their website had a major “Royal Mail Data Vulnerability,” an open redirect flaw that could’ve had users downloading malware instead of mail. Thankfully, it’s been offline for some time, so here’s hoping they’ve swapped parcel delivery for patching up their digital security.

Hot Take:

So, it seems the Royal Mail's cybersecurity was more like Royal Fail... Get it? Because of the major vulnerability in their website that could have had users redirected to phishing pages or worse, downloading malware. I mean, who doesn't love a surprise package, right? Except maybe when it's a data breach. Luckily, the website's been offline for a while, so hopefully, they've been patching up their digital security more than they've been delivering parcels.
